Bitso says its infrastructure processes 15% of U.S.-Mexico remittance volume.\n\n## How Anchorage Digital Custodies MXNB\n\n[Anchorage Digital](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00002ne/anchorage-digital) said it supports MXNB custody across Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche and Arc. Institutional clients can hold the peso-backed asset across those networks through a single banking relationship, the company said.\n\nBitso added USDPT and USAT alongside MXNB, with Anchorage serving as issuer and custodian for the two dollar stablecoins. Mexican customers can buy and sell USDPT directly with pesos through Bitso's application, and Western Union agents with Bitso Business accounts can exchange USDPT for other supported currencies. The companies describe both dollar stablecoins as compliant with the U.S. GENIUS Act.\n\n\"The U.S.-Mexico corridor is where stablecoins stop being a thesis and start moving real money at scale,\" Nathan McCauley, Anchorage Digital's CEO and co-founder, said on Tuesday.\n\n[Tether](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00002p8/tether) is hiring a Brussels-based Head of Regulatory Affairs for Europe covering stablecoin and AI legislation, Ledger Insights reported on October 26, 2026, after ESMA barred EU crypto asset service providers from holding unlicensed stablecoins.\n\n## Anchorage Digital's Tether Investment and Funding Record\n\nTether Investments made a $100 million strategic equity investment in Anchorage Digital in February 2026, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records put Anchorage Digital's total funding at $587 million across six rounds, including a $350 million Series D led by KKR in December 2021 and an $80 million Series C led by GIC in February 2021.\n\n## Deals Preceding the MXNB Custody Role\n\nAnchorage Digital partnered with Securitize to let the firm mint and redeem stablecoins directly through Anchorage Digital Bank, a federally chartered US crypto bank, Crypto Briefing reported in October 2026. Grayscale's XRP ETF added Anchorage Digital as a second custodian alongside Coinbase, effective September 29, CoinMarketCap reported in October 2026. Baillie Gifford's Enhanced Yield Fund, the UK's first authorized tokenized fund, uses Anchorage Digital for custody, CrowdFund Insider reported in September 2026.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
